We are so excited to announce that Earth Day Chilliwack will be held in the Yarrow Pioneer Park on April 20th, 2013 starting at 10am!! This year the event is being put on by the Valley Permaculture Guild and wants to warmly welcome everyone to this amazing event! This is a free event but we are strongly encouraging everyone to bring a non perishable item and if you do when you purchase your local free range burger a discount will be given! This is to help the Food Bank and Envisions “Full Cupboard” . As the Valley Permaculture Guild will be working closely with many organizations and initiatives, food security, community building, earth repair, growing food and feeding our local community we think this is really, really important!
Last year over 95,000 British Columbians accessed their local food bank, 30% of whom were children.
Donations can also be made online to Envision, as a one-time contribution, or through regular, pre-authorized payment. Donations over $20 are eligible for a charitable tax receipt from your local food bank. The great thing about The Full Cupboard is that all food and funds collected in your community will STAY in your community—and THAT’s a great way to ensure every penny counts!
This year we are so happy to be bringing in many amazing local artisans, vendors, food vegan, vegetarian, local free range burgers, farmers, musicians, fungi, magicians, sponsors, local deli, face painting, activities and pony rides to name a few!
There will be lots to do, see, enjoy and maybe you might even join a group!
We would love to see you out there! If you would like to participate please send us an e-mail we would love to hear from you!
